The indie Brooklyn-based trio Bushwick Princess taps into their 90s influences on their new single, “Temkins,” produced by member of the band Matt Francini.
The fourth single from the band, “Temkins,” sets the tone for the band, with the grunge guitar sounds and poetic lyrics demonstrating the unique craft that the band brings, even so early in their career. From the moment the track begins, the listener transcends into a dream-like state, overcome by the guitar lines and heavy drums.
In taking into account each other’s own influences and interests, each member of the trio can be highlighted and heard, as the track does not fit a singular genre description. The verses are something of an indie rock ballad, with the bridge reminiscent of a Kurt Cobain style lyricism. Hook after hook, the lyrics linger after listening, just like the eerie feeling of the tune.
Uniquely structured, the song recalls back to its various hooks throughout the tune, ending on the voice only “I feel and seem defenseless,” expressing the emotional turmoil that the song makes the listener feel. The carefully written lyrics match the sound of the song exactly, leaving the listener with a feeling of reflection, even after listening to the tune.
Stepping into the world of Bushwick Princess is an encapsulating experience. As they are still early in their career, the trio has set the stage to define their artistry, just with the release of four singles so far. “Temkins” is a prime example of the unique style, sound, and lyricism that Bushwick Princess brings to the table, creating excitement for their upcoming releases.
